Abstract

Symetrical patterns, planar ornaments and rosettes form a math/art activity among all ages and cultures. This article explores problems and possibilities that arise in the context of stylus driven symmetry drawing apps. Besides highlightling several visualisation challenges, we will also present suggestions for creative art/math activities on the borderline of creativity and structure.
